Ke = (1/2)mv²

m = 100kg, v = 10 km/s = 10*1000 = 10000m/s

Ke = (1/2)*100*10000 

Ke = 500000 Joules

Kinetic energy is solved by the formula,
                          KE = 0.5 x m x v²
First, convert the given speed in km/s to that with unit of m/s.
                        (10 km/s) x (1000 m/ 1 km) = 10000 m/s
Use the formula to obtain the KE
                           KE = 0.5 x (100 kg) x (10000 m/s )²
Thus, the value of its kinetic energy is 5x10^9 J.

tangare [24]

Answer:

56.86153 N

Explanation:

t =Time taken

F = Force

Power

P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow W=P\times t\\\Rightarrow W=77\times 0.96\\\Rightarrow W=73.92\ Joules

Work done

W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{73.92}{1.3}\\\Rightarrow F=56.86153\ N

The magnitude of the force that is exerted on the handle is 56.86153 N

A spring with spring-constant of 100 n/m is compressed 0.10 m. what is its maximum stored elastic potential energy
Ganezh [65]

Elastic potential energy stored in a spring is

(1/2) · (spring constant) · (stretch or compress)² .

PE = (1/2) · (100 N/m) · (0.1 m)²

PE = (50 N/m) · (0.01 m²)

PE = (50 · 0.01) (N · m / m²)

PE = 0.5 N · m

PE = 0.5 Joule

The combination of all forces that act on an object are (2 points)
qaws [65]

Answer:

A) The net force

Explanation:

If two forces of equal strength act on an object in opposite directions, the forces will cancel, resulting in a net force of zero and no movement.

What are two ways an engineer can build a car in order for it to accelerate faster
Ket [755]

Explanation:

Take F=ma

a = F/m

For a higher, F higher or m lower

Means higher horse power for engine or lower mass for the car
